Solution

The correct option is A RBCs
Glucose-6-P dehydrogenase or G6PD is an enzyme that is responsible for the normal functioning of the red blood cells. Deficiency or absence of it can cause the destruction of the RBCs at a rate faster than the rate that the body can produce them. It is an X-linked recessive error of metabolism.
So the correct answer is option B.
